ORCL a preearnings SHORT TRADEORCL rose from its prior earnings which were not impressive. On the 180 minute chart,
price ascended to the second upper anchored VWAP band and dropped to the mean VWAP
band line in a standard Fibonacci retracement. Finally it turned upside and ascended to the
first anchored VWAP line. The POC line of the immediate volume profile of the past two
months is 113.9 and price is currently below it. RSI lines are near the 50 line and the green
faster line is below the red slower line. The predictive modeling algo shows a forecasted
regression line moving down on the approach to the earnings report after market close on
March 11th. My target on this short trade is 101 being the pivot low at the prior earnings of
December. This represents 10% downside. Accordingly, this is a one to three day trade covering
the earnings period and after seeking 10% in quick profit. The stop loss is set at 114 above the
near term POC line.

GTLB a software company dives on an earnings beat LONGGTLB did a deep dive shaving 20% off its market cap after the earnings report. I see this
big dip as a buying opportunity for a software company stock at a significant discount more or
less ignoring the adverse forward guidance as fluff or purposeful misleading of investors
and traders to create a bit of a bear trap from which to launch a squeeze to propel the price
action. More details on the chart. I will go long here and expect to gain 10-15% with a little
patience. The general market downturn helped GTLB fall and then reversal of the general
market will give tailwind to the return trip. Targets are on the chart based on the high volume
trading range on the volume profile.
